CROWDED HOUSE FINDS A NEW HOME
ICONIC BAND SIGNS TO UNIVERSAL MUSIC
Album Intriguer due in June as world tour is set
One of the most distinctive and beloved bands of the past quarter-century is returning to the front line of popular music: Crowded House has a new album and a new deal with the world's leading music company, Universal Music.
Crowded House – Neil Finn, Mark Hart, Nick Seymour and Matt Sherrod – have completed “Intriguer” for release in June through Universal Music worldwide. The 10-song album was produced by Jim Scott and Neil Finn, and recorded in Roundhead studios in Auckland, New Zealand.
“Intriguer” follows 2007’s “Time On Earth,” which hit No. 1 in Australia and New Zealand, and No. 3 in the UK. It was a continuation of the legacy created by such music milestones as “Crowded House,” “Woodface,” “Together Alone” and “Recurring Dream.” These albums have together accounted for career sales of more than 10 million, produced such global hits as “Don’t Dream It’s Over,” “Something So Strong” and “Weather With You,” and created Crowded House’s reputation as one of the most compelling bands in the world.
Neil Finn said: “I look forward to a long and productive relationship with Universal Music, who are obviously the music company setting the benchmark now. We're delighted to be in the company of music-loving people who believe in us and are eager to spread the word.”
Max Hole, Chief Operating Officer of Universal Music Group International commented: “Neil Finn has one of those instantly recognisable voices, and is one of the world’s most accomplished songwriters. We are thrilled to be working with Crowded House on ‘Intriguer’ and beyond.”
“Intriguer” will be released through Universal Music companies in the world outside North America.
As befits the band’s extraordinary live reputation, Crowded House hits the road from Sunday March 28 with dates in Australia and New Zealand. They play shows in Europe from May, including the UK’s Isle of Wight festival, and embark on a North American tour in July.
Crowded House will also be headlining at the West Coast Blues Festival in Fremantle on March 28 and in Byron Bay at the East Coast Blues Festival on April 4.
